August is National Golf Month, making it the perfect excuse to plan a staycation that pairs championship golf with luxury accommodations, spa treatments and dining. Fortunately, Arizona is home to some of the country’s most scenic golf destinations, allowing golfers to enjoy rounds without leaving the state.
Nestled among Sedona’s red rock formations, Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock offers golfers the chance to combine scenery with one of Arizona’s most picturesque courses. The resort’s Golf Stay & Play package includes one round of golf per registered guest at neighboring Sedona Golf Resort, along with a $50 nightly food and beverage credit to enjoy after a day on the course.
Just steps away, Sedona Golf Resort is known for its views and dramatic landscape, with every hole framed by Sedona’s sandstone cliffs. Its signature 10th hole has become one of the most photographed golf holes in the Southwest, offering golfers as memorable a view as the game itself.
After a day on the fairways, guests can return to one of the resort’s 221 guestrooms, including its popular Fire Bowl Rooms featuring private patios and outdoor fire features. Those looking to extend their adventure can also explore nearby hiking and biking before winding down at ShadowRock Tap + Table.
The Scottsdale Resort & Spa has introduced a new experience designed with groups in mind. The Ultimate Fairway Escape Villa Package centers around the resort’s spacious five-bedroom Stillman Villas, where groups of 14 or more can enjoy a private retreat overlooking McCormick Ranch Golf Course.
The package includes welcome amenities, an indoor putting mat, cigars/minibars and dining credits, creating a golf-inspired escape that continues after that final putt. Guests can also customize their stay with premium cabanas or spa access featuring steam rooms and saunas, ideal for recovering after a day on the course.
The resort also offers easy access to dining, shopping and nightlife while providing plenty of entertainment on-site. Golf enthusiasts can continue the competition at the Social Boardroom, where a golf simulator, full bar, shuffleboard and pool table offer a fun way to unwind. The Stillman Villas elevate the group experience with private pools, gathering spaces and golf cart transportation between the villas and the resort’s main amenities.
Whether your perfect golf getaway includes teeing off beneath Sedona’s towering red rocks or spending the weekend with friends in a private Scottsdale villa, National Golf Month is the perfect reminder that some of Arizona’s best golf experiences are just a short drive away.
